hi i followed this Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (CentOS 5.1). In outlook i can login to the accounts. when i do test mail account i can both login and send a testmail. However on the mail server i cannot recieve the test email. If i send mail between the email clients and the local linux accounts the server can recieve them. However once i send from somewhere like gmail, there is no email being recieved, in gmail i do not get an email delievery messege daemon saying that the account does not exits. What i suspect is the spamassasin is overactively destroying the mails. In the emails that i send via the server email accounts but not the linux accounts there is ***SPAM*** inside the top header. Here is a log when i send a test mail through outlook Jan 7 12:26:15 localhost postfix/smtpd[797]: connect from unknown[116.14.192.41 ] Jan 7 12:26:15 localhost postfix/smtpd[797]: 20F3C57200F8: client=unknown[116.1 4.192.41] Jan 7 12:26:15 localhost postfix/cleanup[805]: 20F3C57200F8: message-id=<200901 [email protected]> Jan 7 12:26:15 localhost postfix/qmgr[407]: 20F3C57200F8: from=<mydomain_maile [email protected]>, size=732, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 7 12:26:15 localhost postfix/smtpd[797]: disconnect from unknown[116.14.192 .41] Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/smtpd[812]: connect from unknown[127.0.0.1] Jan 7 04:26:32 localhost postfix/smtpd[812]: 83C695720103: client=unknown[127.0.0.1] Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/cleanup[805]: 83C695720103: message-id=<[email protected]> Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/qmgr[407]: 83C695720103: from=<[email protected]>, size=1589, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 7 04:26:32 localhost postfix/smtpd[812]: disconnect from unknown[127.0.0.1] Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost amavis[715]: (00715-01) Passed SPAM, [116.14.192.41] [116.14.192.41] <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, quarantine: spam-Ut-XS9uw7-Xd.gz, Message-ID: <[email protected]>, mail_id: Ut-XS9uw7-Xd, Hits: 8.252, size: 732, queued_as: 83C695720103, 17354 ms Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/smtp[806]: 20F3C57200F8: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=17, delays=0.12/0/0.01/17, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 83C695720103) Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/qmgr[407]: 20F3C57200F8: removed Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/virtual[814]: 83C695720103: to=<[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=0.08, delays=0.06/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Jan 7 12:26:32 localhost postfix/qmgr[407]: 83C695720103: removed if it really is a hyper active spamclient how do i reduce its settings while still stopping spam?

ok fixed external mail problem it was because of bad mx and a records but i can send emails from gmail but not certain other mails.
